Excerpt from Visits to European Celebrities

Irving, a little before the dispensation of the tongues Opened upon him. He was then the min ister of the Caledonian chapel in London, and had a highly respectable congregation, though it was evi dent that his glory had begun to wane. The great number of the nobility that had thronged to hear him on his first going to London, had now fallen Off; and though he was universally spoken of as a man of remarkable genius, it seemed to be almost as universally conceded that his genius was not a little obscured by his eccentricity; and there were not wanting those who, even then, ventured the Opinion that a few years more would Show him to be a madman. I was not a little curious to hear him for myself, and accordingly took advantage of one of the earliest Opportunities after my arrival in London for doing so.
